Given :

A 12,500 kg railroad freight car travels on a level track at a speed of 5.2 m/s.

It collides and couples with a 22,600 kg second car, initially at rest and with brakes released.

To Find :

The speed of the two cars after collision.

Solution :

It is given that car couples with each other. So speed of both the cars after collision is same. Let, it be v.

Applying conservation of momentum, we get :

m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 = (m_1 + m_2 )v\\\\12500\times 5.2 + 22600\times 0 = ( 35100)v\\\\35100v = 65000\\\\v = 1.85\ m/s

Therefore, the speed of the two cars after collision is 1.85 m/s.

Reciprocal liking is adaptive because it lowers the risk of relationship rejection.
Mila [183]
I believe that the statement above is TRUE. I can say that it's true because based on the definition of what reciprocal liking is, this is the probability of having to like someone who also likes them in return. Therefore, if they like each other, this means that there is a low risk of rejection in the relationship.

How does temperature,barometric pressure,humidity,wind speed and direction, and precipitation determine the weather in a particu
Deffense [45]
Temperature is how hot or cold something is,barometric is air pressure(when the pressures high,the weather is dry)humidity is how moist the air is and how many water particles are there, wind speed and direction is how the hot and cold air is moving and how fast,which makes wind (high to low, hot to cold) precipitation is how much it is raining at that point.

A basketball player is 4.22 m from
max2010maxim [7]

Answer: The height above the release point is 2.96 meters.

Explanation:

The acceleration of the ball is the gravitational acceleration in the y axis.

A = (0, -9.8m/s^)

For the velocity we can integrate over time and get:

V(t) = (9.20m/s*cos(69°), -9.8m/s^2*t + 9.20m/s^2*sin(69°))

for the position we can integrate it again over time, but this time we do not have any integration constant because the initial position of the ball will be (0,0)

P(t) = (9.20*cos(69°)*t, -4.9m/s^2*t^2 + 9.20m/s^2*sin(69°)*t)

now, the time at wich the horizontal displacement is 4.22 m will be:

4.22m = 9.20*cos(69°)*t

t = (4.22/ 9.20*cos(69°)) = 1.28s

Now we evaluate the y-position in this time:

h =  -4.9m/s^2*(1.28s)^2 + 9.20m/s^2*sin(69°)*1.28s = 2.96m

The height above the release point is 2.96 meters.
